Here is a rare opportunity to acquire a classic vintage reed organ suitable for a home practice instrument or small church. Made by the Estey Company of Brattleborough, Vermont, this two manual with pedal board reed organ dates from the early 20th Century (serial number 359172). The specification is close to the Estey Style "T58", with some case elements of the normal Style "T". (See http://www.esteyorgan.com/StyleT.htm). (For the "purists" reading this, and in full disclosure, the organ itself and the gallery were acquired at different times and from different sources, so please excuse the minor disagreement in styles.)

It is complete except for some easily fabricated case parts including the music shelf and heel rest of the bench (seats three!) and the rear cover panel of the case. Like most organs of this type, the gallery display "pipes" are non-functional and for visual appeal only.

The organ case is of oak wood construction with a 30 note, flat and straight (non-radiating) pedal board. Internal evidence indicates that there had at one time been an external blowing capability, confirmed by the rectangular hole on the treble side of the case in which was mounted an electrical wall switch, which I since removed. The organ can be winded by the original foot treadles, by the original "choir boy" manual blow handle which fits the pumping apparatus, or if desired, returned to electric operation (pump not provided.)

Sold as-is, where-is, F.O.B. Baltimore. PLEASE NOTE: The organ is presently NON-FUNCTIONAL. Restoration services available at additional cost if desired. Pick-up in Charles Village, Baltimore ONLY, cannot ship, but will help load into your conveyance.

PLEASE READ: The following types of responses will be IGNORED:
-Responses asking if the item is still available. (If it wasn't, I would have deleted the ad.)
-Responses offering MORE than the asking price, or to be "held" until you return from Timbuktu.
Under NO circumstances will I act as your agent to a third party in ANY capacity.
-Responses asking that information be sent to your secondary email address or a third party. Send it yourself using the "email to a friend" link below.

Also, the first response, if any, from me will be back through the Craig's List email relay. If you don't receive anything there AFTER three days of having posted your inquiry, AND your inquiry doesn't fall into one of the above categories, please inquire again. I may have missed your inquiry. Thanks.
